<p>Any ideas for a nice kosher restaurant in Manhattan. Went to Le Marais last year and want to find something similar. It’s for a nice dinner with cousins from out of the country who appreciate good food.</p>
<p>Go to TripAdvisor.com. Ask on the New York city forum. You will probably get 20 answers within 4 hours.</p>
<p>Also try menupages dot com, and choose “kosher” from the menu on the left. I have found it very helpful in general. You can also sort by neighborhood. You can call up menus for the places you’re interested in and see prices.</p>
<p>If you want something a bit downscale, I’d suggest Katz’s Deli. One of our usual stops in NYC.</p>
<p>Katz’s Deli is lots of fun to visit for a slice of Old New York, but it’s not actually kosher. So if you’re strict, try Mendy’s (several locations) or the 2nd Avenue Deli (now on East 33rd Street) instead.</p>
<p>The chowhound kosher forum [Kosher</a> - Chowhound](<a href=“http://chowhound.chow.com/boards/28]Kosher”>http://chowhound.chow.com/boards/28) has a post right now with a link to New York magazine’s top kosher restaurant picks [Best</a> Kosher restaurants in New York City - Time Out New York](<a href=“http://newyork.timeout.com/articles/restaurants-bars/80577/best-kosher-restaurants-in-new-york-city]Best”>Time Out New York | New York Events and Things To Do All Year). Le Marais is on the list, no surprise.</p>

<p>I didn’t know that - I just assumed. Of course we’re not strict.</p>
<p>The reuben didn’t tip you off? :)</p>
<p>Speaking of delis, check out the new book “Save the Deli”.</p>
<p>Ben’s [Ben’s</a> Delicatessen Online](<a href=“http://www.bensdeli.net%5DBen’s”>http://www.bensdeli.net) has been a favorite for years.</p>
<p>Prime Grill on 49th between Park and Madison.</p>
<p>Thanks all. We’ve done Ben’s Kosher Deli. Really good. I think we’ll try Mike’s Bistro this year. Upper west side - looks good and less money (somewhat) than Prime Grill or Solo.</p>
<p>Ben’s is one of our favorites for Deli, but although the meat is Kosher, it’s not a Glatt Kosher restaurant…if that’s an issue for anyone.</p>
<p>What about a non-eastern European restaurant? </p>
<p>Iranian/Middle Eastern: Colbeh is at 43 West 39th</p>
<p>Italian Dairy: Va Bene is at 1589 2nd Ave (near 82nd)</p>
<p>Indian Veg.: Chennai Garden 127 E 27th (Grammercy Park area) There are a number of restaurants advertised as Kosher/Indian/Vegetarian in NYC…</p>
